d.c. my love

one of my life goals is to live in d.c. i've wanted to move there ever since i visited le ex lovah during my spring break almost 2 years ago (i can't believe it's been that long since we've seen each other in person...kind of weird) but yea i looooved the city...there was something about it. he went to georgetown so the area around the school was so nice and there were the cutest little houses and apartments that were painted different colors. one day we went to virginia...it really freaked me out, because right behind (ok not directly behind, but pretty close) georgetown is the potamic river and the washington bridge (i think that's the name) so we walked from georgetown over the potamic into virginia..it was so much fun.

anyways here's part of my trip in pictures...i took out the couply ones, because no one wants to see those

we made a special trek across our nation's capitol

just so I could see stephen colbert's portrait

(i was so happy certain people were willing

to that for me)

yes i took a picture of this...i must say that i do not appreciate

the fact that the genius who designed the building

made both entrances look EXACTLY alike...which

causes people to go in one side and leave out of what they

think is the same entrance which they don't realize

is a completely different exit until they've walked almost

an hour in the wrong direction....just saying.

the washington monument (of course)

the library

the museum was having a special hip hop exhibit

and this guard was standing outside of it...he was HOT!!

of course i didn't tell certain people about this, didn't think

he would appreciate it lol.

part of georgetown's campus...i fell IN love

with it, it is such the stereotypical

east coast ivy league campus

the healy building i believe

healy building part 2

walking down embassy row

certain people were getting kind of annoyed with

me, because i kept stopping to take pictures

of all the embassies(?)...it was kind of funny

i seriously have a whole facebook photo album

of just embassy row pictures...i'm that kind

of tourist

still embassy row

the smithsonian castle

the capitol building..we didn't get a chance

to go see the white house which i didn't mind...

didn't get a large amount of touristy time, since certain people

still had school, but i did get to see a lot considering...it was still

a pretty fun trip

the national archives building

embassy row again..yea these are super

out of order

was really surprised to find out dc has a chinatown

so in conclusion, dc is my town..it pains me to watch real world dc (figuratively of course)

but anyways, one day i'll be there. until then i'll just keep daydreaming and skimming

apartments for rent on craigslist. (i wish i could say i'm joking about that)
